ANDY Robertson is one of the world’s best left-backs. Perhaps the very best. His place in the Scotland line-up based on ability alone should, in theory, be unimpeachable.
There may be a case to say though that in the captain’s enforced absence against Ukraine, that Scotland were a better team. Not because he wasn’t playing, per se, but because his injury meant that manager Steve Clarke didn’t have to fit round pegs into square holes to accommodate both the Liverpool star and Kieran Tierney.
